My verdicts

Adidas

Questar 3

The Questar 3 surprised me with its soft, protective ride and premium-feeling upper, a step up from the Galaxy 7. It suits beginners and heavier beginners running slowly up to 10 km, but only at ₹3,000 to ₹3,500, not at retail.

Avoid if: You have ankle stability problems, run over 30 to 40 km a week, run faster than 5 min/km, or need a very durable shoe.

The best budget racing shoe from 100 m to 5K and 10K, with one of the most responsive midsoles at this price.

Avoid if: You run in heat and need a breathable, roomy upper.
